For FreeIPA autodiscovery to work, what SRV records must exist on the DNS server?

  • 772

I've configured FreeIPA for the most part. When I attempt to add a client, I must manually specify the domain and IPA server FQDN. I've read many sources discussing autodiscovery, but I have yet to find an example of the autodiscovery records.

My IPA servers are the authoritative DNS resolver for their domain.

domain-name-system

    If your authoritative DNS server is not FreeIPA, you can run the following command on your IPA server to generate the necessary DNS records, which you can then go and put into your authoritative DNS zone file:

    ipa dns-update-system-records --dry-run

    See https://www.freeipa.org/page/Howto/Updating_FreeIPA_system_DNS_records_on_a_remote_DNS_server for more information.

    If FreeIPA is your authoritative DNS server, you can regenerate your DNS records on the fly by running the same command, without the ---dry-run flag. If you're not sure your records are correct, or want to see the records, use the --dry-run flag to compare and contrast what is currently configured in the system.
